In the original, which was both a critical and commercial hit, Tatum and Hill played two police officers who go undercover at a high school to bust a drug dealer. In "21 Jump Street 2," the duo will go undercover at a college.

"It leads off where we ended the last film and our guys are going to college," producer Neal Moritz told Collider. "Now, I can't tell you more than that because there's some fun to be had in what college they're going to and what's going to happen. It really just starts there."

Sony also set summer 2013 release dates for several other movies: "Think Like a Man Too" will be out June 20, with Jason Segel's "Sex Tape" debuting on July 2.
